Sad day…

Today is a sad, sad day.  We lost an amazing woman today.  She had a heart of gold and loved her family fiercely.  She was warm, generous, beautiful, kind and very spunky.  She loved her boys in a way I can only hope to show A.  She loved my family and we loved her.  She will always be remembered fondly in our house.  She was a part of so many of my memories from age 12 through now….I can’t believe she’s gone.  I feel truly grateful to have been able to spend time with her recently, and am so happy that she got to meet baby A and see her play with M, A’s future husband 😉

Here she is with her handsome grandson this summer.

 

Big A...you will always be with us...thanks for all the amazing memories

 

 

BOO!

We had an awesome Halloween!  We went to Gramma’s to trick or treat.  Baby A didn’t disappoint in the cute arena.  She was both a pumpkin AND after a quick costume change, she morphed into the cutest Monkey ever!  She wasn’t however the star of our trick or treating party.  Her banana outshone her and got way more “AWWWW look at THAT!”‘s.  Its cool, he always gets compliments on how cute he is sitting in his bag, in his costume!  We also had a special secret guest appearance at our party….see if you can find the secret guest 😉

Pumpkins & Cousins…

We tried and tried and tried for months to get everyone on a free weekend to pumpkin pick early in the season.  Obviously that didn’t happen since we went the day before Halloween!

We made the big trip out to the Hamptons, found a corn maze, a hayride and some pumpkins, even one that was good enough for Cousin R.  She’s really really picky about her pumpkins…they must be round, orange with NO GREEN and have a stem.  It was rough, but we found one!

We got some baby pumpkins and a gourd for A & she really wants to eat them!  She tried to eat a wagon, rode a John Deere, saw a HUGE fuzzy caterpillar and some goats and lots more fun!

Here are some photos of our fun day out east!
